Bipolar HK is Hong Kong's first peer-led support network. We are a collective of Hong Kong-based professionals, students, writers and artists living with bipolar disorder. Bipolar HK’s mission is to fight the stigma and stereotypes attached to mental illness in Hong Kong (while also occasionally – and mischievously – reveling in them). The non-profit group offers opportunities for peer support in free monthly support group meetings and seeks to positively and proactively influence the way members perceive their conditions, as well as the way others perceive them. Interested new members are invited to email: bipolarinhk@gmail.com
